30. Centre of Mass

The centre of mass of a body or a system of bodies is the point which moves as
though all of the mass were concentrated there and all external forces were applied
to it. Hence, a point at which the entire mass of the body or system of bodies is
supposed to be concentrated is known as the centre of mass.
If a system consists of more than one particle (or bodies) and net external force on
the system in a particular direction is zero with centre of mass at rest. Then, the
centre of mass will not move along that direction. Even though some particles of the
system may move along that direction.

them
a) in inverse ratio of square of masses of particles
b) in direct ratio of square of masses of particles

and moving horizontally on frictionless surface. and also find the relation of total
mechanical energy in such motion.

(​ ii) To simulate car accidents, auto manufacturers study the collision of moving cars
with mounted spring of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with
a car with 1000 kg mass moving with a speed 18km/h on a smooth road and
colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant 6.25x103 N/m . what
is the maximum compression of the spring.

32. What is meant by baking of roads? What is the need for banking a road? Obtain
an expression for the maximum speed with which a vehicle can safely negotiate a
curved road banked at an angle θ. The coefficient of friction between the wheels and
the road is μ.
